Social Networking GaffesFreddy Woo writes, "My school bully just friended me on Facebook!" No doubt he pokes him, and then demands his lunch money.
Personally, last month a scantily clad young woman confused me with her fiance, with whom I share a first and last name. I'm still not sure she's noticed, but she's going to be mortified when she does.
What's the biggest mistake you've made using a social networking site?

This will be my worst QOTW answer,Faecebook has always been for me a window into a previous life. Ten years ago I was a scamp of the first order, I drove a nifty car, I had dyed hair and did very silly things while seriously enjoying myself.
There has always been a core of friends who I still keep in contact with but with all things folk fall by the wayside and are consigned to the designation of "People I have met". These friends have photos - said friends upload photos, tag me and my past and present life collide like Princess Di and a Parisian tunnel.
There was no major reaction to all of these revelations but a certain part of me was irritated that who I was met up with who I am. I found with unease that I disliked my hedonistic youth meeting my now respectable and carefully cultivated adulthood.
Social networking is a laugh but reveals too much, no pun, no reveal but just my view on it.
